I believe you can get an exact answer with strcontains if you use quotations around the data your searching in.

Nice sig.

If you mean getting the index value, no. Otherwise, please do clarify your post

PHP Code:

//--detecting element in list
  if (strcontains(#s(foo),bar)) 

  if (lindexof(bar,foo))

//--finding element in list
  this.index = lindexof(bar,foo);

  for (i=0;i<sarraylen(bar);i++) {  //<- this is freaking ugly and I will hit you if you use it
    if (strcontains(#I(bar,i),foo)) {
      this.index = i;
    }
  } 


It depends on what you are doing. As far as which function has the more efficient underlying code, I don't know. (only applicable in determining if an element is in a list though)

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
if (created || playerenters) {
  setstring this.accounts,some guy,foo;
  if (strcontains(#s(this.accounts),#a)) {
    message Your in the list;
  } else {
    message Your not in the list;
  }
} 


If your account is some or guy it will allow it but if you set the accounts string to "some guy","foo"; it only allows some guy and foo.

Oh yeah, I see what you're talking about. That's definitely not the same as returning an index though, making that information pretty arbitrary.
